cicLAvia Heart of the Foothills

This weekend on April 22, 2018 the nation’s largest open streets event connects the cities of San Dimas, La Verne, Pomona and Claremont! Streets will be closed to cars and open for cyclists, pedestrians, runners and skaters to use as a recreational space!

The free cicLAvia (ciclavia.org) event from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. encompasses 6.5 miles on portions of these streets: Bonita in San Dimas, Fulton, Arrow Highway, College and 1st Streets in Claremont.

The public loves, loves, loves the Open Streets car-free events, but they’re expensive to produce and require many volunteers. In October 2017 Berkeley Open Streets was canceled to due poor air quality.

While there actually seem to be less California open streets events than in past years, you can still find some if you look. Here are the Open Streets 2018 events we’ve uncovered to date.
